This creates fragmentation and a jungle of compile-to-JavaScript languages order of magnitude bigger than what we've got now. The more languages you have the more effort is required for having good tooling, which is already lacking. > unfortunately behave different with regard to this and thus make the language even harder to understand In my opinion they make the language more easier to understand, as the this keyword becomes rarely required, the code becomes more readable and you'll get rid of weird var that = this; or .bind tricks. > Classes are horrible in my opinion Classes are pretty nice. It's a syntax sugar which is nicer and easier to understand than using functions and prototypes. > Let scope is fine I guess, I honestly never thought this was a big deal It eliminates a certain class of bugs without a downside. I never use var anymore. I agree with the general point that ES6 seems to have focused a lot on not that important syntax sugar.
